Obama bought all the brass in the US!
And there are no bullets to be bought now!!! OMG! Husband met with his 20 idiot football friends tonight and they were on a rampage that they can't purchase bullets... and 3 of them said they heard Obama bought all the brass in the US to keep bullets from being made. I shit you not. One is a plumber who obviously can buy brass fittings... Husband explained they were morons who bought up all the ammunition in town when Obama won as FEARFUL ....IT'S CALLED SUPPLY AND DEMAND YOU RETARDS! And when the bullets get shipped to town the price will be way up because your idiotic fear! Sorry..just needed to vent about the idiots in my little town...and maybe someone will laugh...sadly.

2. do any of the geniuses EVER wonder how many bullets flying in Iraq?
If there are shortages of ammunition or brass, they might think about bush's war being a contributing factor.

4. My evil plan is working.
You see, it was I who bought all the brass knowing Obama would be the perfect fall guy.

11. There is finally some coming through again. The ammo was being bought
in case lots or more by those who were/are afraid of Obama declaring guns/ammo illegal and confiscating them all.Several overseas ammo makers actually believed this BS, and STOPPED SHIPPING to the US, sending it elsewhere in the world, because they were told it would not ba allowed into the US after O was elected.

There also is a resurgence of the idiot "militias", armed RW crazies who are "training" in camps on weekends to take over the government by force. They plan some sort of gathering in DC in the summer, and expect a million armed men to show up. Interesting to see how many the jails will hold.

I guess they are getting smart or running out of money/credit, because ammo is starting to come back to the stores again.
(I bought my guns and ammo when Bush was president, and didn't tell anyone.)

15. It was posted on one of the MOR gun sites - I think it was
"The Firing Line" - Ijust saw it yesterday. The company in question is in the Balkans and evidently their US contacts are convinced Obama will forbid ammo/gun sales.

16. Million Militia Man March

Links galore:

http://www.google.com/search?q=million+militia+march&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Birther lawyer Orly Taitz:

http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/blog1/?p=499

While I am trying to reach resolution in legal ways and appeal to the law enforcement, congress and judiciary, time might be coming for citizens, for “we the people” to seek justice and take matters in their own hands. If the Attorney Generals and district attorneys, and Federal Atorneys are not willing to prosecute Obama based on dossiers showing evidence of document forgery, perjury, massive fraud and othe crimes, based on indictments of the Citizen Grand Juries, then maybe it is time for citizen trials, maybe it is time for the citizen militias to effectuate the verdicts of those trials.


There are enough pot-stirrers out there who know they only have to inspire one crazy person.

14. My Libertarian friend who works in the firearms department of a major chain store begs to differ...
Not all rightwingers are so skull-fuckingly stupid. He doesn't trust Pres. Obama one bit with regards to gun issues (well, any issues really, but he's a gun nut so...) but he'd openly mock your husband's friends for their, um ... views, ESPECIALLY the plumber.

18. Shortage Myth
I was in a large chain sporting goods store in San Antonio yesterday and wandered through the guns/ammo/hunting section. The shelves are stocked full of every type of ammo they sell...same with pistols, rifles, and shotguns. Maybe they have an in with manufacturers? Or maybe this whole shortage thing is over? Or, maybe this is yet another right wing "story" designed to get the masses stirred up and scared.

23. The most popular calibers are in short supply, but less popular calibers can still be found.
Edited on Sun May-03-09 08:57 AM by benEzra
The biggest shortages are in the most popular rifle calibers (.223/5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm, and .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm), 9mm handgun ammunition (plus .380, .40, and .45, to a lesser extent), and in some places, .22LR.

The shortage actually began in 2005, when post-Katrina hedging (because of the illegal confiscations and faux martial law declaration) collided with Iraq War demand, but things accelerated in 2007 and 2008 over fears that an Obama/Biden administration might resurrect the "assault weapon" fraud, curtail ammunition imports a la the Clinton Administration, and/or institute new production bottlenecks such as microstamping.

20. Calling these guys "retards" is an insult to the mentally challenged.
I'm not saying the word "retarded" is necessarily offensive. Just saying I don't know any retarded folks who are this fucking stupid, is all.

26. We've been having an ammunition shortage ever since the start of the Iraq war
Idiots aren't taking into account that since the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan the largest purchaser of bullets in the world has been using its supply.

There were stories in 2006 and 2007 of Police departments having trouble getting bullets for practice due to the fact that the US Military was purchasing so much ammunition for the two wars.

27. You think that's bad. 2 co-workers took vacation & flew down to Arizona to do border patrol.
They brought back video of themselves chasing men, women and children and scaring the hell out of them with their guns. These are guys that have families and spent their time off doing this instead of taking their kids somewhere. I kept quiet as these guys are close to the edge.
